it's good to be back!

i'm happy to be back after a well-deserved break from the computer for awhile! After a family move, birth of our second little one (a healthy baby boy!), and learning to juggle a newborn and toddler together, something like a normal routine is slowly starting to return to our home. what an adventure it has been over the past few months - busy, fun, fulfilling! love my babies. life now feels complete :)

i am very much looking forward to having a hot coffee while catching up with my favourite blogs (and entering some great giveaways!) during those precious few moments when both babies happen to be napping at the same time!  i will be posting about some of my favourites, it's good to be back!

busy busy busy!

wow, it has been a busy week! we had a great time visiting with out-of-town family, and i've had lots on the go wrapping things up at work before maternity leave for baby #2!

i've definitely missed my coffee time to catch up with my favourite blogs though! so over the next few days, i hope to have a lot of new posts on the latest reviews and giveaways from my favourite sites.

despite the busy schedule though, i still managed to stop by listen to lena whenever i could to check in on her amazing summer beauty and fashion guide! although the first two rounds of winners have already been drawn, there are still many chances to win some great prizes before the end of the month. i will definitely be visiting every day!

time for a coffee and to catch up with the rest of my favourites on this rainy wednesday!

life at home

welcome to life at home! i am a young canadian mama, wife, blog reader and giveaway enthusiast! i have been happily married for five years with a beautiful toddler daughter and a new baby boy on the way. we are loving family life in canada's national capital region!

as a relatively new mama, life at home is a space i created to share some of the interesting reads and giveaways that i come across as i explore the mommy blogosphere, while also documenting aspects of my own journey into mommyhood.

i hope to use life at home to express my appreciation for this online community of moms, given it serves to provide support, stories, advice, helpful family product reviews, giveaways, and so much more to other moms, dads, and caregivers alike.

happy reading!
